Often LGBTQ people have forged circles of friendship and alternative families as they navigate their identity, need for authentic self expression, and frequently hostile environment. Drawing on artworks in the SBMA collection and loans from artists, this exhibition explores art about LGTBQ friendship, companionship, solidarity, and desire.
This exhibition includes works by Nell Campbell, Pui Tiffany Chow, Félix González-Torres, Edie Fake, Alex Foxton, Gerald Incandela, Narsiso Martinez, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Joey Terrill, Chiffon Thomas, and T.J. Wilcox.
This exhibition has been supported by the R&R Trust and Rachel Kaganoff.
